15th book of 2020. An Outsider’s view.
If you want an entertaining remix of the facts, I would recommend watching ‘The Social Network.’ It’s equally inaccurate and has a better soundtrack.
Having worked closely on the areas that Levy covers, I can affirm that Levy is no Bob Woodward. Levy’s book reads like a summary of press from 2017-2019, too busy dunking on Facebook’s mistakes to bring any new insight to the table. If you want to understand Facebook, read Ben Thompson’s newsletter, or Chaos Monkeys, a book written by an actual (if disgruntled) insider.
